Just got my customer number and was able to register for online banking and app. They say they have some sort of maintenance until Sunday 3rd September 8am. "Sorry, we're unable to show you all your account info at the moment or process outbound payments"0 -

There's been a big discussion about it over on the regular saver thread: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6106986/regular-savings-accounts-the-best-currently-available-list/p1

Was able to open the regular saver straight away and got the welcome email instantly. Set up a new payee with my main bank and sent £1 test payment and showed up instantly. Applied for an overdraft at account opening (up to £1500 interest free overdraft for 12 month) and was able to make an internal transfer into the reg saver using the overdraft and that worked and the £200 showed up straight away with the date of today.
Setting up a payee with Nationwide didn't work in the app, was told need to log in to online banking but didn't bother for now. Guess I have to wait for the card reader to arrive.
My switch completion date I set as far as possible into the future (19th October) to allow enough time for all the changed DD to become active so I get the £200 switch bonus.1 -

Hmm, mine seems a bit different. I just checked and now it's updated to say it wants a passnumber to log in. Same for the app. Googling it seems like that's sent via mail? So guess I'll have to wait till next week to get in. The register again pages wants a bunch of account details I don't have yet either, so can't really use that to speed up the process.

It's hard to believe but that's true, Nationwide are very old fashioned and don't seem to have much interest in modernising anything.
It's all very backwards. Their website visually looks like the kind of software you used to get on tills in the 90s - very dated. The app appears modern but you can't actually do anything on there. Tiny building societies have a better effort than this at online and app banking. This is always what stopped me using Nationwide for banking in the past and every year they don't sort it, it looks worse.1 -
It's bizarre isn't it. They have been around for a long time but are living in the past and don't have even the most fundamental things that every other account provider has.
